The Meadows Pa Race 1 - Race 1 - 1609M

SFORZA (5) ran third last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 2.25 metres. Finds a nice race and will take plenty of beating. BUR BUN (1) scored two runs back then registered an effortless victory last start, scoring by 6 metres over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Stepping up a level this time but he is capable of another big performance. A NEW LEADER (4) is in the mix at his first run since scoring over 1609m at Plainridge Park four months ago. BIG BOY ERNEST (3) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when third at this track over 1609m.

Seven-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 6 m win (Fr6) at this track (1:54.10) beating Stay Close in NW8800L4 on March 19 at $4.80. Recent form hard to fault.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Sforza at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HCP on February 26 at $25.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Sforza at this track over 1609m in a OPEN HCP on March 5 at $5.70. Capable of testing this line-up.
